The National Weather Service in Raleigh has issued a
* Flash Flood Watch for a portion of central North Carolina... including the following areas... Cumberland... Durham... Edgecombe... Franklin... Granville... Halifax... Harnett... Johnston... Nash... Orange... person... Sampson... Vance... wake... Warren... Wayne and Wilson.
* From 1 am EST Wednesday through Thursday evening
* up to 4 to 6 inches of rain is possible through Thursday. Moisture will continue to stream north into central North Carolina as a powerful storm system develops along the Carolina coast. Rainfall will become widespread and heavy at times across the area late tonight and one to one and a half inches of rain is possible by Wednesday morning. Periods of heavy rain will continue Wednesday and Thursday... possibly producing flash flooding in urban areas and on smaller creeks and streams. Fallen leaves and other debris will likely clog storm drains and sewers resulting in additional flooding.
* Heavy rain overnight will make driving hazardous... as it will reduce visibility... and possibly flood ditches and pool in low lying areas on the Road. The long duration of the rain may produce flooding along flood prone creeks and streams especially in urbane areas all across the Piedmont... sandhills and coastal plain.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
Most flash flood deaths occur in vehicles. Do not drive into areas where water covers the roadway or drive around police barricades. Rising water can engulf a vehicle and its occupants. If your vehicle stall in water... abandon it immediately and seek higher ground.
A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.
You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action should flash flood warnings be issued.
